Montana's Cowboy Lyrics

Out in Montana, far from Atlanta

A lonesome cowboy, and a cattle convoy

Been travelin' all day and started dancing away

To the sounds of the coyotes, and the bleatin' of mountain goats

To the sounds of the rustling leaves, and wind howlin' through the trees

And he danced all night long to the sounds of nature's song

One winter mornin', his mama was a groanin'

He called the doctor at once, who said she had but a couple months

But all she wanted was a final chance to watch her cowboy dance

To the sounds of the coyotes, and the bleatin' of mountain goats

To the sounds of the rustling leaves, and wind howlin' through the trees

And he danced all night long to the sounds of nature's song

One day a young man, came to steal this cowboy's land

His name was Texas Red, and he shot the cowboy dead

And as the cowboy fell he danced away and said farewell

To the sounds of the coyotes, and the bleatin' of mountain goats

To the sounds of the rustling leaves, and wind howlin' through the trees

And he danced all night long to the sounds of nature's song

Where there's a settin' sun, this cowboy's soul will run

But at his restin' place, he shares a warm embrace

Dancin' with his mama in the skies of Montana

Dancin' with his mama in the skies of Montana

Dancin' with his mama in the skies of Montana
